Providing recommendations for future research into the Volunteering, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) Sector with the Volunteering and Tackling Loneliness Team at the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport

In October 2022, the YPDG examined the future of the VCSE sector, and canvassed young people aged 16-25, finding that 33% of young people would be most receptible to volunteering opportunities advertised on social media, compared to other forms of advertising. They also found that the Cost-of-Living Crisis and Mental Health would be the most pressing issues for young people in the next 2-5 years.

On the 23rd of October, the YPDG met with Joy Johnston, James W Richardson, and Georgina Colton from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and presented their findings.
